Abstract excerpt
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) binds G-protein-coupled receptors (S1P(1-5)) to regulate a multitude of physiological effects, especially those in the vascular and immune systems. S1P receptors in the vascular system have been characterized primarily in mammals. Here, we report that the S1P receptors and metabolic enzymes are conserved in the genome of zebrafish Danio rerio. Bioinformatic analysis identified seven...
